If any trade deadline buyer was watching Monday's Mets game they might have suddenly been more interested in Marlon Byrd.

After the Mets allowed the Marlins to tie the game at 5, Byrd ripped an RBI single up the middle off of A.J. Ramos, a solid reliever, with two outs and then on the very next play, hustled from 1st to home on a double by Ike Davis.

Byrd is putting up solid numbers this year for the Mets and more than anything, he's been consistent throughout the whole season. He can field his position, run the bases and above all, hit.

But most likely Byrd would not warrant that much of a return for the Mets, so many fans are calling for the team to hold on to the aging outfielder.

Thinkman is one of them. In Wednesday's 'Sports Comment of the Day' he thinks Byrd would hold a lot of value on a good team next year for the Mets.

thinkman said:

"The Mets should stand pat at the trading
deadline. Marlon Byrd is the team's most consistent player and trading
him will only lead to more non-decisions for Matt Harvey and Zack
Wheeler. On a good team next season, why can't Byrd be that veteran
pinch-hitter off the bench or that backup that spells players from time
to time? I think the Mets would be looking for a guy just like Byrd next
season if they trade him now."

Do you agree with thinkman or do you side with Eddie D'Anna and think the Mets should trade Byrd before 4 p.m. today? Sound off in our comment box below.
